Angry Glass :)

Last week's glass was bad. kept making simple mistakes. Anyway, took all that anger out on glass, and ended up with this. Another addition for my collection :)

Paperweight and color vase.

This weekend hillary, the person who got me into glass came to hershey, pa. We met, and gave her the glass pieces I made. Made a paper weight and colored vase for her. Below are pictures. Link to her blog, http://herald-dispatchblogs04.blogspot.com/

Paperweight and vase

Paperweight

My vase

After last week's fiasco were I broke 4 cups, was finally able to get one in the oven. It was supposed to be a cup, but the shape was nice, so ended with vase instead. I like thicker glass because it does more to light then thinner ones. It reflects, bends and adds glow to the piece. Thats one reason I love blenko glass. :D

This week made 2 cups and a vase. Although, only one of them is close enough to be considered good. Others are bad. Btw, was using the sock I turned into heat shield. It worked good. Got just 2 burn marks, one on left hand, and other on upper arm. In gap between where sock ended and shirt began. There was no sock covering those.  :D
